  • Service was over the top - amazing. We got there on a rainy day and our helicopter tour had been canceled. The lady at the front desk gave us recommendations on what to do & where to eat so our day didn’t go to waste. This hotel is right across the street from the lake with beautiful views! You can easily watch the sunset from your room or go for a little walk along the lake. Very close to all the restaurants too. We loved our stay!
    Highly recommend! – Abbie T. 2025  Read Reviews
  • This motel was fantastic, far better than I'd imagined. The room was beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a stunning view. The interior was also very cozy and tidy. I loved the lady at the front desk; she was so kind and gentle, like Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter. Since we were Chinese, she was very patient and explained everything to us, including things to do and eat in town, and reminded us to be careful when driving. The lady was so lovely, and we even exchanged gifts at the end. The room had a wide selection of tea and coffee, a capsule coffee machine, and a fully equipped refrigerator. It was truly far better than I expected. I highly recommend this motel to everyone.

  • My partner and I have always tried to travel on a budget but we had the opportunity to stay at Radfords on the Lake and experience true luxury and WOW!!! It's going to be hard to go back to anything else after this, even my own bed doesn't cut the mustard. The cleanliness is next level, I can't say I've ever seen everything get steam cleaned between guests before. All the little touches they've added really do make all the difference. And the hospitality from Kerri and Dexter was top notch. Kerri went out of her way to help us out when we got into a pickle, and provided great recommendations. We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our stay. And FYI, one night is not enough, stay a few! There's so much to do in Te Anau. (from Amelia & Chris)
    We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our stay. – mealzhikes September 2025  Read Reviews
  • Kylie at the front desk was very sweet and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. She spent a few minutes giving us local recommendations on places to eat and things to try, which is how we found Sandfly Cafe. Accommodation was very clean, comfy and warm (we were there in the winter). Kitchenette had everything you could need for a short stay. Couldn’t ask for a better location or view in the morning to be able to walk straight across the street to the lake.
    Cute, cozy, quiet, and comfortable with the best views. – Jonathan C. August 2025  Read Reviews
  • We stayed four nights at Radfords on the Lake and loved each one. The hotel's location is ideal with it on the water and walking distance from the charming downtown. The rooms are stylish, spacious, and immaculately clean. They provide everything one hopes to have when traveling. Kerri is the ideal owner and manager. Kerri is super friendly, helpful, and absolutely delightful. I look forward to staying at Radfords on the Lake again. It is an experience to remember.
